Vancouver, BC, February 16, 2015--(T-Net)--ACL today announced the opening of its new Asia Pacific HQ in Singapore.

While ACL has had presence in Singapore for the past 13 years, the new office signifies part of ACL's ambitious expansion plans for Asia Pacific, according to the company.

The company reported that building a stronger foothold in the region will allow ACL to provide more direct service to its customers in the region.

Earlier this year, ACL announced new sales contracts with Indonesian manufacturing giant Great Giant Pineapple, and last year, ACL began partnering with Shared Services for Charities Limited (SSC), a not-for-profit charitable organization in Singapore and many other companies across the region.

“Globally, more organizations are recognizing the value of GRC software, but in Asia we find that there is an especially big potential for what these solutions can do for auditors,” states Laurie Schultz, President and CEO at ACL, who attended the ACL Asia Pacific HQ opening event.

“We are looking to support our base in Asia and further develop our footprint through investments and expansion.

Businesses and governments across the region are increasingly adopting new technologies like the cloud, software as a service, and mobile computing. Alongside this trend is the greater demand for audit, compliance and finance professionals to review rapidly increasing volumes of data and translate data into actionable results to drive the overall business.

"We have extensive plans to grow in the region as we see many opportunities to serve businesses and organizations here looking to integrate the GRC software into their processes,says Eric Lim, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, ACL. Part of these plans is also to attract and invest in consulting and sales talent across Asia to fully explore the region's growth potential.”

ACL began its acceleration plans across the region in 2013 when it acquired Prodigy, a Singapore-based software reseller and consulting services provider focused on audit, compliance and risk management solutions.
